I read your magazine. Wonderful.
I wanted to write because too often I see people walking on the beach with their shoes on. It really is so, so important for people to remove their shoes and get their feet wet.
Our skin soaks up minerals from the seawater, especially magnesium that is so very important for our nervous system, our muscles, immune system and heart rhythm. It is the ‘connector’ in our bodies. We cannot function without it.
This is one of the main reasons people are so healthy and vital, jumping out of their skins after a day at the beach. The sun provides Vitamin D and B12, the activity spent provides cardio/vascular health, and the ocean provides a great source of minerals, especially magnesium.
Athletes know this. AFL coaches will totally immerse their teams in the ocean for this reason… it is believed that our head soaks up more than the rest of our body.
Europeans know about this. When they go to the beach they frolic endlessly in the ocean, doesn’t matter how cold. In fact, the colder it is, the better for mineral absorption.
Please, via InJoy Magazine, encourage people to take their shoes off when they walk on the beach, and at the very least get their feet and legs wet. This is a free dose of minerals, and regular doses of a dip in the ocean is thought to be much more effective that bought mineral supplements.
It really is powerful, easy to get and absolutely natural.
